This location is on H Street. Hubby tried the brisket. It was decent. There are several choices of sides. It's funny and ironic that the salads are more expensive than some of the meat dishes. If you like smoked/BBQ items, this place is worth a visit. They have happy hour too. Sometimes street parking is available in the neighborhood. read more

I've been trying to try the Smoking Pig for a while, glad I finally got the chance! They have happy hour from 4-7 on weekdays. I stopped by around 6pm on a Friday and was able to have a seat at their bar. There is no food offered on their HH but they do offer $5 rails, $9 jumbo cocktails, and discounted beer. There are three flavors of premade jumbo cocktails; we saw the bartender prep these drinks throughout the evening...there is PLENTY of alcohol in them. I had a rail drink and one of the jumbo margaritas. Both were solid and were definitely worth the HH cost. Their food menu is really solid - has a wide variety of BBQ options. I had the smoked wings which were absolutely PERFECCT as well as the burger entree. My meal was delicious; I was stuffed when I left. I appreciate the chef coming out to chat with patrons as well; seemed like a comfy and welcoming neighborhood bbq joint. The bartender and other staff were friendly, attentive, and fast as well. Looking forward to my next visit here! read more

They don't have proper sanitation procedures in the kitchen, using the same knife to cut various food items without washing it (with only water btw) been years of holding this in just because I'm afraid of making them lose their business, but at this point reading these reviews makes me feel like they need a wake up call. If you have serious allergies or are cautious about cross contamination do not eat here. read more

Smokin’ Pig - Great Food , Great service ! The turkey leg was Devine, best I've had in USA. Highly recommend stopping in and gobbling down a leg ! - Barbeque Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Second time here, first time for happy hour and I was satisfied with the visit. Tiffany is a great bartender, she was able to manage food service, bar service and to go orders within a timely manner. Seating at the bar gets crowded and dining is pretty tight, I'd love to see them rethink the layout to provide more space for customers. read more

I've lived in DC for 30+ years, and this is one of the worst retail experiences I've had in some time. A call-ahead order that clearly was nowhere near being ready. People who'd been waiting up to an hour, their cars parked in No Parking zones, for really basic orders. ONE guy in the kitchen. NO adult in charge. I couldn't even ask for a refund. Just a straight-up mess. Done and done. read more

To say I'm disappointed in my latest order would be an understatement. I ordered a brisket BAKED POTATO (as pictured in their social media) through UberEats and the second photo is what actually arrived. A container full of plain, poorly cooked waffle fries and dry brisket. The restaurant could've easily indicated that they were out of potatoes, but instead fraudulently charged me nearly $20 for this poor excuse for a meal. I will never order from this establishment again. read more

Our waitress was very kind. We sat at the bar cause the tables were a little wobbly. Me and my partner ordered 1/4 ribs and 1/2 of ribs which comes with two sides. My ribs were really salty, but the sauce was sweet so I wish it could have cancelled it out. My mac and cheese was bland. And the beans tasted like they were in a can. My partner's had the better sauce. read more

Decent BBQ here, but the service is super slow and not very attentive. I wouldn't recommend coming here if you don't have an hour or two to burn. My wife and I ordered 2 Smokin' Aces combos ($22 each), which consists of chicken, 2 ribs, and your choice of beef brisket or pulled pork, 2 sides, and bread. My wife told the server she had a gluten allergy and couldn't have the bread or wheat products. And guess what was on the plate when the food finally arrived? Yep, 2 slices of bread on both of our plates. After ordering, we sat for what seemed like forever until they finally came over to apologize for the delay and that the kitchen was tied up with Uber Eats orders and would get to ours soon. Ok, then why was the table next to us already eating their BBQ sandwiches when they arrived after us? Also, didn't those Uber Eats orders come in before or after I placed my order?! When our food came, not only was there bread on both plates even though we told them that my wife had a gluten/wheat allergy, they only brought a single tiny disposable container of BBQ sauce!! How ridiculous when we ordered 2 BBQ combo plates at $22 a plate!! We asked for more, but they only brought 1 tiny container each time. Eventually, I just gave up and ate my meats dry. There's no reason 2 BBQ entrees should've taken nearly 2 hrs! Not recommended unless you have a lot of time on your hands, or are looking for a place to drink and chill. Not a place to grab a quick bite; that's for sure!! read more

This place is a ViBe!!! Randomly was on Hst with my good girl friend, looking for a nice brunch spot. All the hot spots were full and long waits, so we stopped by Smoking pig on the humble. This place is a GEM. Great vibes ! Great music! Diverse atmosphere, Good food!!! And what a great bar tender / manager (Travis) was. Also this place is black owned With a very diverse group of people coming through. I can't say enough things about this place. Me and girlfriend both was happy and said this will be our Lil spot to come kick it and chill every so often. Thanks smoking pig for the love and great food! read more

The food was amazing and the service was great. We each had the Smoking Aces and it was delicious. Brisket, ribs and chicken were as tender and flavorful as can be. The sides were great; definitely recommend the Mac and Cheese and the Collard Greens. Great experience! read more

First visit but solid 4star. Amazing service from bartender Don. Very friendly, helpful with recommendations, and efficient. I enjoyed the atmosphere and decor. Lots of nice touches to compliment the BBQ theme. I enjoyed the combo, called the Smokin' Aces. Choices between brisket/pulled pork and the brisket was so good. It was tender, tasty, and full of flavor. I also enjoyed the chicken. I went with the dark meat vs white. It was great, almost melted in your mouth tender. The two ribs were a wonderful taste for what demands a revisit for a half or full rack. Great flavors all around. It comes with two sides so I tried the Mac and cheese and the brussel sprouts. Both were good but nothing amazing. The Mac was real cheesy and sprouts were crunchy. Bacon on the sprouts would have been a welcome upgrade. $2 cola refills and $.50 for additional bbq sauce. I enjoyed the Memphis and tried the Carolina as additional charge. The Memphis was great. Hard to comment on the Carolina since I don't love mustard (I had forgot Carolina was a mustard base...oops). No desserts. For a Saturday night, they weren't too crowded. Definitely give them a try. read more

I'm hoping this is a one off, but the chicken in my order was raw (see photos). I was pumped about a new que place in the hood so ordered from Doordash recently. I got the Smokin Aces (ribs, chicken, brisket) with the mac n chz and slaw, as well as a turkey leg and a side of Brussels. I originally got the turkey leg with Alabama white sauce but they called me to let me know they were out of it so I asked for that girl's suggestion and ended up with the Carolina gold sauce. The turkey leg was GINORMOUS and really really good. Crispy skin on the outside and very moist on the inside, you don't find too many que places around that do turkey legs like this. Ok on to my combo. It was ok. It wasn't bad, but I wasn't blown away by it. Pretty standard by que standards. Except that while I was eating the chicken, I found that it was raw and had to throw the rest of it away. Thankfully Doordash makes it easy to resolve issues like this so I just filed through them and they gave me money back on that platter. The mac n chz and brussels were pretty bland to be honest. Slaw was good! I'll probably give this place another shot, but won't be ordering the chicken. read more

This is the first time I've ever eaten somewhere and had to send the food back. It was basically inedible. Staff didn't seem surprised that I couldn't eat it. Never going back here. Terrible! My husband choked down some of the food but ultimately threw out more than half. The best thing about this place is leaving. read more

To begin with we had the best service with our waitress, she was kind and very prompt. We ordered the ribs chicken and brisket and it was all delicious. The greens were fantastic. We walked from the neighborhood we were staying in. read more

I was really excited to welcome this BBQ joint. I've gone here three times now and here's my opinion: while the bbq itself is tasty, their service isn't great. Every time they get my order wrong in some way. Today they mixed up two of my sides again -- I ordered mashed potatoes and sweet potato fries and instead got potato salad and regular fries. A good restaurant pays attention to all the details, and this isn't acceptable. I would suggest that if you ever order from here and do pick up, be sure you actually got everything you ordered. read more

So...I really want to give this a 3.5 but because it is a black owned business, I will go higher than lower. Y'all already know that I am going to KEEP IT REAL! First, let me say that the food was AMAZING! We ordered the salmon BLT, rib platter, and pulled chicken platter with a side of fries. The food was really good! However, the WAIT was longggggggg and our order was a bit mixed up. We ordered mashed potatoes, greens, coleslaw, and macaroni and cheese. We received potato salad, macaroni and cheese, and fries. The young man that brought the food was adamant about the sides not being on the receipt...and we were adamant about what we ordered. After a minute of going back and forth about it (he was not rude, really nice) we were like forget it. I mean it really irritated me that instead of him asking the young lady (that was 10 ft. away) about the order, he gave us the side of coleslaw and was like, "Please just tip my bartender!" SIR, we tipped her already! Over 20 percent might I add even though this is a take out order that we have had to wait almost an hour for. My suggestion is to order ahead so you can avoid the wait. My favorites so far are the fries, the salmon BLT, and the coleslaw. I LOVED THE COLESLAW. read more

The best way to describe this place is to say its above the average but not above average. My standards for BBQ are really high and while Smokin' Pig probably beats alot of places it is not exceptional. My test is always the brisket, and while decent it was lacking the development you see in outstanding briskets from other places. Sides were good. I appreciate the sweeter baked beans. If I could give 3.5 stars I would. Definitely worth a visit and a good option in the Atlas District. read more

Smokin’ Pig - Brisket platter - Barbeque Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Normally, I would drive to southern avenue to get some pulled pork barbecue . But today, I decided to try Smokin Pig located on H S.T. NE. What a mistake I made. The services were not good at all. I arrived there a little after seven- I ordered three sandwiches and rib tips. I waited over an hour just for the cook to come and say my food was given to somebody else, really!!! When my food finally come out, the cook basically said I took care of you. I get home!! So dam!!disappointed!!!!! Rib tips were so tough and dry. The barbecue sandwiches called big moma were so skimpy. They looked like two pieces of bread with two scoops of meet dry and tough. Below is a picture... This is terrible, back to Good Ole Johnny Boys where they over load you with meat and sauce on two fresh buns.. read more

I ordered 1 pd of brisket, potato salad, collards and mac/cheese. I recieved less than a pound of brisket, too much mustard in the potato salad and not so tasty mac/cheese. Gave a bad review to Uber Eats and they did refund the money for the brisket but that was nice but did not cover the food not received which left 2 people hungry. Maybe eating in we would have received better. Will not order from there again nor recommend this place to my friends. Too bad because the brisket itself was good. read more

Unbelievably dry. What the hell is this dry ass Turkey leg? Smokeless BBQ at its finest. This was some garbage for real. Can't wait to light my own damn pit after tasting this mess. I hope someone learns how to smoke meat up here. So disappointed. read more

I knew it was bad when the entire ride to my destination I smelt NOTHING! I got the Smokin Aces that came with 3 meats, I chose ribs, brisket and pulled pork. They forgot to sub out the chicken so they gave me a side of pulled pork as well. My sides were baked beans and greens. The "baked beans" taste like can pork and beans with a strong red bell pepper taste. The greens taste braised, but were some how dry and lacked flavor. The brisket was dry and flavorless, ribs not tender and under seasoned. The chicken, that I didn't want, was the tastiest. NONE of the meat taste as if it were grilled or smoked! Maybe "Smokin" means the pig was off that yeah! After I ordered I notice the different bbq sauce flavors. I asked and she said they charge .50 cent per bbq sauce! What?! Oh, the pulled pork was sweet. I, personally, don't like sweet meat so that was a No as well. This was an unfortunate disappointment...... read more

Nice addition to the H Street Corridor. We have tried this place two times, the first time was during the first week of opening and the second time is well after. Extremely, unnecessarily and painfully slow. Both times we ordered from here we were quoted 15-20 minutes (from the restaurant and via online ordering). We waiting 45+ minutes for our order. The salmon sandwich is delicious and very filling but it doesn't take 45 minutes to prepare salmon. The macaroni and cheese and collard greens were extremely bland and not to our liking. They ran out of ribs the first time we came and I cannot say I'll ever get to try them because honestly driving the extra 5 minutes to other barbecue place is worth it to avoid the ridiculously slow wait times here. Additionally the staff is very lackadaisical about orders being late and/or running out of food. I hope this place can get it together. read more

shit was terrible, they don't serve alcohol because they don't have there liquor license because the dumb ass owner forgot to renew it, the food was dry no flavor and there was a smell in the place, they have an upstairs that's not even open either, this place six balls! read more

The food was great. My husband had the wings and they were amazing. I had the big bbq and it was really good. Music was great in the bar and the bartender was very helpful! Only downfall, I'm not a huge bbq sauce fan. Would've liked to be able to have the sauce on the side. read more

The food is BANGIN! We ordered the cowboy burger and 1/4 pound of ribs and everything was tender and juicy. The Brussels sprout side was something else entirely and the seasoning is just magical. The Mac and cheese I could take or leave though. The table behind us got a Turkey leg stuffed with it and it looked massive. Service was very friendly but new and didn't know how to make some drinks or how to combine checks because for some reason they started as split. The downer of my experience was when I asked where the bathroom was and was told by the new employee to go downstairs but there was a leak in that bathroom that was splattering everywhere and I have no idea what I got all over me but it was disgusting. I later found out there was a perfectly fine bathroom upstairs where we were eating... read more

Great spot for some bbq! Food was delicious with a variety of menu options. However this place is small so be sure to go early or on a non busy day. Unfortunately while there we heard the cooks arguing, but the waitresses were reassuring. read more

Smokin’ Pig - Pulled pork sandwich - Barbeque Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I'm going to cut them some slack because I ordered my meal two hours before closing on a Sunday night. I ordered the ribs, mac and cheese and onion strings to carry out. They were onion rings and pretty thick - not what I was expecting - but ok. The mac and cheese, while definitely made in house, was bland. The ribs, though, were inexcusable and nearly inedible. Burnt, tough, dry. They had been cooked individually- so, the little meat that was on them was desiccated. Had I been eating in house, I'd have sent them back, as I carried them out, I just wasted money. read more

I give this place no stars at all just received my order. I order a 1/2 slab ribs only received 3 pieces which was the end part of the ribs. This ribs were dry overcooked with like to no sauce. The Macaroni & cheese was try with no taste at all. For a person who love ribs & nearly eat out was very disappointed. I will NEVEV order from here an again. Oh!! I spent a lot of money to throw them ribs in the trash. NEVER!! If you want food with this place just go in. Save yourself the headache. SUCKS!! read more

Someone left a review and stated how they have never had to send back a whole plate of food. Let me be the second person that agrees with this statement because I almost did the same thing. Let's start with the hair in my canned beans. The beans were so basic they had to be from the can. Secondly the ribs were mixed old and maybe fresh mixed. There is no way my order of ribs were cooked that morning. Now I did not give my hairy beans back to the server because I just felt so disappointed that I just gave them that as a--it happens. After trying to eat old mixed with I assumed fresh ribs I was just done with this place. My lady got the brisket and man was it fatty and again not fresh. I've had Lewis Barbecue in Charleston SC so I know a good brisket. This food including the sides wouldn't cross the South Carolina border--just simply not edible barbecue. I mean to be a so called Chocolate City where's the excellent soul food? DC is a place where you can get drunk, lounge and talk who's who and all the federal jazz blah blah but when it comes to great street foods you'll be kind of left without and hungry. I live here in the immediate city of Alexandria Va so I know the area. Fine dining for sure but good soul food it's lacking baby. They even served this expensive dinner--55.00 plus automatic 18% gratuity with cheap plastic spoons dining in. I really felt bad for the family of five that sat down as I was leaving my entire plate almost untouched. The patron asked how's the food? If he was paying attention to all the food left behind he'd understand it was not good at all folks. H Streets has to have better venues than this place because this is not it. No pics I wouldn't want to misrepresent with pics that doesn't tell the true story of a lousy place to eat in DC. Do better read more
